Not a player safety issue, and if Rhodes says it didn't happen, then there shouldn't have been any fine at all. It's ridiculous.

Is this fine crossing the line? Should the NFL let "in-house" incidents like this stay that way?

Curious, was JPP fined for throwing Prince in the tub? If not, how is this a fine worthy offense? The guy who allegedly got spit on is denying it even happened.

Edit: New information points to this fine coming from within the Cardinals organization.

8:02PM EST December 7. 2012 - The Arizona Cardinals have fined defensive lineman Darnell Dockett just more than $100,000 for his role in an argument with teammate Kerry Rhodes last week against the New York Jets.

Is he not good anymore? I seriously havent heard his name for ages._________________#JihadWard

Source? That link I posted lists all the fines for that week, so it made it seem like this one was by the NFL as well.

I thought the Cardinals were the source of the fine as well but the link suggested otherwise so I have no idea. It makes more sense for the team to be involved but we've seen the NFL get Fine-Happy before.

This is why people don't take the NFL Fine thing seriously and argue that it is not about player safety in how they fine... Clearly regulating in-fighting and spitting are more important than player safety._________________

And this is why some people don't take some posts seriously.
2 or 3 posts before yours explain how it was not a fine made by the NFL but by the team yet you merrily either ignore them or just plain don't read them and make a totally irrelevant comment.
